He then got on his horse and started home.

He had not gone far until he became blind and sick and fell off his horse. He soon recovered, as he did not get burt that time. He called for help, but no one heard him. He again got on bis horse and again fell off, with the above result. He is resting as well as could be expected to-day.

Wilkesboro Chronicle, The prospects are that Wilkes will have the fewest number of distilleries this season known in her history. There will hardly be a bonded brandy distillery in the county this year, the revenue officers are closing most of the whiskey distilleries and there will be very few that survive. Where there have been hundreds before there will be scarcely a dozen. This, of course, will relieve most of the revenue officers in this section, as there will be nothing for them to do. They will either have to go out of business or find other fields of operation.

Hall, Druggist. COMPANY CAROLINA PRODUCE, PRODUCE. WHY FARMERS ARE DISCONTENTED. Told that They Are Poor Until They Believe It- -Crops in Yadkin. of The Landmark.

Correspondence We are having a fine growing season up here in old Yadkin, and the farmers are making mighty good use of it in cleaning out corn and getting their wheat cut. It is like an old farmer here said: He didn't care a darn for this here fusion and free coinage and gold standard, so he got his wheat cut and corn crop cleaned. And he was right, for it is making the farmers dissatisfied, causing a restless spirit to come over them with their vocation--one of the most independent in the world. This eternal and everlasting harping on the tariff and money question is ruining the farmers, bringing discontent and everything that leads to anarchy and socialism. You can make the healthiest man in the world believe he is sick if everybody he meets tells him he is looking badly and must be sick.

So it is with the farmers. They have come to believe that the world is against them and they have become disheartened. They are ground down by trusts until their farms do not pay them 2 per cent. interest, and all this caused by the Republican party and bigh tariff for trusts. It is a fine tribute to the Republicans that more and more erery day the conservative business men of the country are looking to them for the true solution of the financial question and the maintenance of sound money.

God pity the poor farmer if that be so! Farmers are about done cutting wheat. Oats is so low it is going be almost impossible to harvest it. Corn is growing rapidly and is looking splendid. The farmers are a little behind, owing to harvest and the recent rains, but this bright and warm weather will give them time to catch up. Several of the old vets.
